One of Nick Duffell's Wounded Leaders was on display at PMQs just the other week. In answer to a question from (I think) Angela Eagle which went in effect "If even your well-off, privileged, middle-class mother is questioning the fairness of your austerity programme, shouldn't you be having another think about it?", Cameron's carefully practised, suave, plausible, public school carapace was dramatically punctured and he started raving at Jeremy Corbyn about his dress sense. It was so spectacular that even the Labour benches were stunned and forgot to shout "Flashman, Flashman!" as is usually their wont. I've no doubt Nick Duffell would say that this was "the boy inside the man" escaping; another instance of a child hothoused into adulthood too early and having been given an illusion of entitlement and a brittle armour of self-confidence which is all too easily punctured by what, after all, was a perfectly legitimate question. What a pity that our leader couldn't even take a few seconds to consider the question and give an adult and intelligent answer. Unfortunately the "entitlement illusion" isn't just confined to the products of Eton, Harrow, etc. It also exists on the CH Unofficial website.

Of dear, we're going off thread again. The Politics thread got diverted by Cats, the Constant Lambert thread got diverted by Hats, the Daily Timetable thread got diverted by Hockey & Hormones (we're still waiting for some replies, girls), and the 26% Fee Payers thread got diverted by Capital Punishment. Perhaps we should just relax and view the CH Unofficial Website as a giant game of Consequencies.

I have some hilarious cat pictures I could post!
